MQ true or false...FALSE
Yep, we are swamped in Ohio but no, that bonus was not offered this past weekend. Line bonus's were.
False. They are training everyone for it but
LMAO,oooh gawd, you're just killing us here! LOL
False advertisng ..........
How can a company brag about their ability to meet or exceed HIPAA regulations if they offshore? There is just no 100% way they can guarantee such a thing because once it leaves this country, there are no laws governing those things in another country. To me that is just false advertising and very misleading to their customers, whom I question even know it is leaving these shores. 
unfortunately not false advertising.
It says UP TO $60K. When I worked FT, I made that much. Ahhh, those were the days!
MQ-True or False about Work
Can this be true???? My girlfriend who works out of the Ohio office left me a message saying that she had gotten a message over the week end from the Ohio office with the following incentive: For every 10 reports that you typed, you would receive 25 dollars--IS THIS POSSIBLE with all the rest of us out of work in Amherst--if there is so much work in Ohio, why are we not helping???
What you're saying is completely false.

Enter "Psychology" as your key word. Lowest I found in my area (Philadelphia, PA) was 62 grand a year. Plus just the respect that one gets from having a college degree is worth it!
Go back to school. I'm taking Psychology as well and can't wait to get off this dead-end life of MT.
"Faux" is French for false. - nm

Not to give you false hopes, but I actually
got my period for about 3 months with each of my 3 pregnancies. I also had faint lines on my pregnancy testers. I'm sure there are others out there who have had periods as well - just tune into your body for other symptoms of pregnancy - i.e. I always also suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum instantly and for 9 months for all 3. Yuck. Good luck to you! Keep the faith!
We have had to endure so many of their false alarms about warnings
that no one pays attention to any of them, including those that are obviously going to be a danger. People are tired of being told to live in fear of everything, so they ignore it.
I agree - it is a false sense of security.
There are pedophiles everywhere that aren't registered. I just can't believe that the laws aren't tougher on these people. Anybody could come up with $500 bail - that's like a slap on the wrist. This guy has made me very uncomfortable for a long time. Last Thanksgiving when we were out of town, he strung Christmas lights all over the house to "surprise the kids," and he brings them over Christmas presents every year. Thank God I have never let my children be alone with him. The next time my husband tells me I'm over-protective, I'll be sure to bring this up! Really, is there such a thing as over-protective in this day and age?
Unfortunately, false statements of high pay attract
Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Me, too. Only if I send receipt do they know it was read. False information.

You can also charge her with "filing a false report" with police.
The police offered us to do that against our neighbors because they call the cops on us any time we even have relatives over for our childrens' birthday parties. It's not like we get rowdy and drunk. We sit on the deck and eat food for two hours. Oh, dread.
Sue the wench in civil court. Call the police and ask them what you can charge her with.
Please check out Snopes.com for false statements/urban legends
before posting. This is an email that has been circulating for a while and it is not true. See the link for an explanation.
So totally and completely false! Plenty of employers test who are not partners with top 3!

So why are you telling me this?
I already said mine are grown. And don't be so quick to judge others. You have no idea what circumstances others are in. Judge not, lest you be judged.
I'm telling ya!
Gotta agree, but I worried that messing with the structure of his mouth might take away from that voice. It gives me goosebumps too!
You could certainly help us out by telling us what the...sm
platform was that turned out to be a low-line maker.....
And tell us the one that has been good too!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for telling me this!
I now have been contacted by four others who went through the same thing. This will really help if they don't respond to the complaints I filed. Thanks for taking the time to tell me.
Dianne
So what you are telling me is...
I should just go ahead and apply at places states I have two years experience and test for them. Then, I can get experience without any? Kinda?
The OP WAS telling it like it is.......nm

Keep telling it, maybe they will sm
listen to you. They are not listening to me! You said it exactly as it is. This is not a "school" career. It is by learning. Maybe the school gets you started, but it still takes years of learning.
I do feel sorry for the folks who went to these schools thinking that was all they needed because they really got taken advantage of. I don't know if any hospitals these days train folks or not. My opinion is if you have been in school then you need to go work in a hospital/medical center/teaching facility for several years before EVER trying to coming home and do this. you just cannot make any money at this working on production coming out of school. There is no way. Let me rephrase that, maybe you can but on a limited basis with an easy account, not a lot of foreign dictators, one or two work types etc. But, in order to do everything it takes YEARS!
Uh, yea? Do people really think it's going to go away? I'm telling you...
Those who protest our efforts to defeat terrorism, and those who hate George Bush more than they hate those who want to kill us, really need to wake up. These people have the ONE thing that we DON'T have...... Patience. So many people would like to think that 9/11 is a thing of the past and that if we just mind our own business, this will all go away. They will out wait us, because they know that we have no patience, and they will strike again. If we don't remain on the offense, no matter how unpopular it make be among the "kum-ba-ya" crowd, we will eventually perish. Giving "peace a chance" will be the end of us. These people don't operate as we do, and we better realize that right now before it's too late.
Do you mind telling us
who you work for now?
My DH was telling me McDonalds was going to do this too,
but inside the US...not India. I think we should boycott the drive throughs that don't use in-house workers. Take the time to walk inside and place your order with a real person and make it a point to say so. Of course, the only way it will make a real statement is if EVERYONE does it, so what's the chance of that. So we'll watch our MINIMUM WAGE jobs now just creep away as if nothing is wrong, right!
Would you mind telling me..sm
Did it take you long to learn to use it and where you purchased it? I have only found it for about 189.00 and was hoping to find somewhere that sold it a little cheaper. Thanks in advance.
Please consider telling us what company
Please.
I was just telling my DH what a cute name that is!

I just got through telling someone yesterday
what I do and they said what I have heard umpteem times before: "Hey, I can do that, too." ARGH!
Just telling it as I see it after all these years
in the business, know what I am talking about. I was told by a manager in the early 90s I would not see voice recognition in my lifetime. Well, guess what folks, it is here and automation is taking over a lot. I am thankful for the money I made in the past in order to raise a family and it was excellent money BUT I am right on the money as far as what I have said, just type faster because I do not see this as a profitable job as it once was. Some agree and some won't but the business is down the drain for MTs these days. In the 80s I worked outside my regular 40 hr week and charged $20 an hour - wonder how many places pay that now?? You are lucky if you have any.
Do you mind telling me how to do that? sm
This Vista experience has already given me a headache.......any help much, much appreciated. Thanks.
Everyone is telling her she has no choice
because if her employer says "jump", she should say "how high". What was she supposed to do when they said work from home, say "No". She was just criticized on an earlier post for standing up for herself and telling her employer no. There are many on this site that have to be "right" about everything. Contradiction is not "right".
If she was a recruiter, she would be telling--sm
where she works and plastering the name everywhere. Obviously she has not done that.
There are too many other *unhappy* ones trying to jump on her bandwagon. I wouldn't tell anyone else either, if I were her. I wish her all the best.
I'm educated, too, but you don't see me telling
medical providers what they should or shouldn't say in their reports. You knew this would blow up when you posted it, so don't play all innocent victim here. What does using one word have to do with the patient's privacy? It certainly didn't stop YOU from posting it on the Internet!
Right, Mary...Keep telling yourself that
.
That's what management is telling us. sm
It seems if someone can edit 1000 lines an hour you wouldn't need many people to cover an account and/or you would always be running out of work.
The above poster was telling it like it is
I was making big bucks back in the 80s and outsourced, went to another place making 20 thousand less, outsourced again and now work for a company making 20 thousand less, so add it up and that is 40 thousand less than the job in the 80s. VR has and is cutting what an MTer is making and from what I am reading on the boards, companies are going even lower than say 4 years ago in the salary. Maybe you have not done this job long enough to know how it has sunk but it has. I first trained on the job in 1973 and older MTers know this. It is not a good profession like it once was. I would never tell anyone to get into this job- only if you have other income and just want a full time job for part time pay. The job where I have worked for 19 years now has ESLs coming out the woodwork. We did not have this when I started there in 2000. It has changed and not for the better. You are sugarcoating something that sinks more and more each year. I raised a family on what I USED to make but now only work still because I do not have a family to raise- could not on the salary places pay. I would definitely tell anyone now thinking about this as a profession to think again. People say - I want to work at home so I can stay with my children- this alone has hurt this profession. We are thought as not having a real job to start with. People think you work from home- you got plenty of time. I hate it when I see- Oh, I get to stay home with my kids, not that they love the work - just to be at home. And people wonder why this job has sunk so low??
I found it very telling...
... that after all this time of trying to get everybody to "upgrade" to Vista, last summer Microsquish finally "saw the light" and released XP service pack 3. All the tech people I have ever talked to opined that Vista was the biggest hole in the ground ever to come down the Microsquish pipeline. And now they're getting ready to inflict another new version on us. Good grief.
I applied/interviewed for something like 30 jobs last fall; and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, without exception, REQUIRED XP. If I'd jumped on that Vista bandwagon, I'd have been shucks-outa-luck.
BTW, would you mind telling me sm
what he did or did not do?
My husband is the worst when it comes to telling me I don't get out
enough. He doesn't realize that I never liked the office politics at an outside job. I never, ever did anything social with my coworkers. He's an extrovert and a social butterfly. I like people and I like to have fun, but I would rather spend fewer hours working and more hours with my family than to spend time in a negative office environment. Also, don't most mothers and wives give up a lot of their friendships? It's a sacrifice we make because there's not enough time in a day. I still have friends. However, most of my friends were guys before I got married. Male/female platonic friendships pretty much stop after the "I dos". The rest of my friends moved out of state. And everyone else is busy with their own husband and children. We get together maybe once a month.
13 cpl, 26 years exp, also not telling name of company.. nm

It's a semi polite way of telling someone to
"F--- off".
it's possible they're telling the truth
I use Sylcount and ran two counts on the work I've done thus far this month: lines and pages. I have Sylcount set up to count spaces and tabs only.
These are my totals from 9/1/05 to 9/9/05 --
Total Lines: 9505
Total Pages: 333
Ave Lines/Page: .2867867 (round up to 29 lines per page).
Three pages: 29 x 3 = 87 lines
Example? No.. I think they are telling the truth because its true.

i've started telling him that he better
never start a fight, but he can stand up for himself and finish it!! the direction our country is headed is terrifying!
You usually have to pay for FTP, she was telling us this site is free.
FTP transfers voice files from your doctor or company you work for to you. Actually, many national MT companies require you to have FTP access, so this is good even if you don't think you will use it right now. Later when you need it, the free offer will be gone and you will need it but will have to pay $$$
I AM SO MAD I COULD SPIT! I can't believe what the posters below are telling you!
My husband installs hardwood floors for a living. Because of the house boom there are times when he works for 2 or 3 weeks straight. On his day off, he sleeps most of the day - which is probably what your hubby is doing. Like another poster stated, he probably does not realize what it's like on your end. He's looking at a day off with peace and quiet. Sure he misses you and the kids, but for some reason men always seem to see things differently. Just don't mention coming to see him and I bet he calls you and asks you to come on his next day off. Just give him time and DON'T LISTEN TO THE MANHATERS BELOW!
8 years ago she was telling the truth-sm
and at that time, my income from just ONE job was $45,000 a year, and that job had great insurance/PTO/other benefits. About 5 years ago it all changed, the income started dropping, and the benefits started getting harder to find and more expensive.
Today, I will be lucky to make $33,000 from my full time job and I have to supplement with part-time work. I do have health insurance and it is about $100 a month for single, so I am lucky there.
Yes, it's time to do something else. I'm tired.
Stop telling me how to punctuate!!!!!
I have at least two doctors that say *comma* after every single sentence. It drives me crazy!! If they had their way the whole report would be one long run on sentence. UGH!!!
Oh, sure. I can see telling 62 year old DH to "go outside". LOL
